The Mexican fighter was heartbroken to see his friend and former coach on “The Ultimate Fighter” get choked unconscious by Deiveson Figueiredo in a fight for the vacant flyweight belt that headlined UFC on ESPN+30 this past Saturday in Abu Dhabi. It was a title rematch from February, when the first bout ended in controversy – there was an illegal head clash during the fight, and Figueiredo couldn’t claim the title after winning because he missed weight. Benavidez, 35, was part of the UFC flyweight division inauguration back in 2012, thus considered a pioneer in the weight class. He’s also been a top contender for years but was never able to capture UFC gold, having gone 0-4 in UFC title fights at 125 pounds.
